It seems it would have to be fake, but I can't see the trick when I look at it.

Fake. Everything happens a little to perfectly.

As my friend's kid once told me, "this Ghostbusters isn't real...it's a cartoon. Only the MOVIE is real."

FAKE!

Fake.
-What's stopping his forward motion? The splash goes straight up where it should mostly be pushed out the pool in the direction of his travel. (Darn Newton and his third law always spoils this stuff)
- If they have to put water on the upside of the ramp wouldn't the launch part of the ramp be dry and slow him down due to friction?
-Too much to do today to estimate, but the start height looks too low to give the shown distance of travel, even if the ramp were perfectly frictionless.
Nicely done, though.
